You are most welcome, Miss O ...

I was recently discussing with a pal how life has "changed" in our lifetimes, we both being 60 -ish. I mentioned that during my grandpa's lifetime, from 1876 to 1965, that life REALLY changed, probably more than during all the previous historical periods combined. Think about the things of daily life that were completely unknown or even dreamed of in 1876, and compare that life in 1965. Pretty amazing!
